If Islam is the true religion why did muhammad himself not get anywhere during his 10-12 years of preaching in mecca, does a true religion need help by the sword?

islam is not a true religion.
it is a poorly copied religion from all the other religions in the world. such as christianity, Judaism even easter religion such as Hinduism. example. the story of noah and the great flood is copied from the hindu story of the great flood which was written many years before christianity or islam were created...since islam is the youngest religion on the plant. in the hindu story the man who saves the man kind is known as "manu" and if you go talk to any muslim and ask him the translation for 'manu' he will tell you noah. i was talking to my muslim friend and telling him about the hindu flood story which was similar to noah's story...and i mentioned the name 'manu' and he said...'you mean noah'. and i was like whattttttttttttttttt. and he told me 'manu' means 'noah' in arabic and thats when it became obvious that this is not a coincident that there are two very similar flood stories. they are the same stories copied and edited from one religion to another.

It is a common complaint among some non-Muslims that Islam would not have millions of adherents all over the world, if it had not been spread by the use of force. The following points will make it clear, that far from being spread by the sword, it was the inherent force of truth, reason and logic that was responsible for the rapid spread of Islam.
2. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace.
Each and every human being in this world is not in favour of maintaining peace and harmony. There are many, who would disrupt it for their own vested interests. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace. It is precisely for this reason that we have the police who use force against criminals and anti-social elements to maintain peace in the country. Islam promotes peace. At the same time, Islam exhorts it followers to fight where there is oppression. The fight against oppression may, at times, require the use of force. In Islam force can only be used to promote peace and justice.
3. Opinion of historian De Lacy O’Leary.
The best reply to the misconception that Islam was spread by the sword is given by the noted historian De Lacy O’Leary in the book "Islam at the cross road" (Page 8):
"History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated."
4. Muslims ruled Spain for 800 years.
Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. The Muslims in Spain never used the sword to force the people to convert. Later the Christian Crusaders came to Spain and wiped out the Muslims. There was not a single Muslim in Spain who could openly give the adhan, that is the call for prayers.
5. 14 million Arabs are Coptic Christians.
Muslims were the lords of Arabia for 1400 years. For a few years the British ruled, and for a few years the French ruled. Overall, the Muslims ruled Arabia for 1400 years. Yet today, there are 14 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians i.e. Christians since generations. If the Muslims had used the sword there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian.
6. More than 80% non-Muslims in India.
The Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years. If they wanted, they had the power of converting each and every non-Muslim of India to Islam. Today more than 80% of the population of India are non-Muslims. All these non-Muslim Indians are bearing witness today that Islam was not spread by the sword.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and Europe.
Today the fastest growing religion in America is Islam. The fastest growing religion in Europe in Islam. Which sword is forcing people in the West to accept Islam in such large numbers?

Every religion is the true religion, just ask it's practitioners. It's a way we humans have developed for fitting God into nice little bite-sized containers.

If you want answer you have to effort to find it. Study Islam (not to convert to it but to know further) and you will find the answer.

Intimidation is Islam's technique into recruiting new members.

Because it never was spread by the sword.
Why does a true religion need it's god to die for them?
P.S. Jesus never died.
